Add/Delete config entry via CTRL script

[michael.danzer]

Hi,

i need to add/delete config entries (e.g. _alert_hdl) of a datapoint and want to do this via a CTRL script. I did not found any CTRL function for that. dpDelete() deletes the whole datapoint, even if i just pass the string to the config entry i want to delete.

Any suggestions how to do that?

Thanks

Regards
Michael

If you want to delete a DPE-Config, then you have to set its “_type” attribute to the value DPCONFIG_NONE (= 0).

In case of an alarmhandling config you should first acknowledge any existing alarms on the DPE before deleting the config. To delete the alarmhandling- config you have to set the ":_alert_hdl.._type" to 0. Example:

dpSetWait(dpe+":_alert_hdl.._type", DPCONFIG_NONE);


Note: please keep in mind, that changing alarm- and alarmclasses-configs very often may lead to a full configuration history. To avoid an increasing size of the configuration history the time of the configs _alert_hdl and _alert_class can be set with dpSetTimed(0,...).
